    THIS is why the Air 2 is better than the M2 Pro for video!

    Nice video--I just wish it was legal in the US to get shots in the fog, like he did. This is an example of a beautiful shot ideal for drones, that seems perfectly safe; but unfortunately illegal... (I'm not the drone police--quite the opposite... just wishing I could shoot similar footage is all).

    DJI Assistant 1.1.2 for Mac (or failing that for Windows), anyone?

    I'm getting a secure connection failed error when trying to access this version. Seems like V.1.1.2 is nearly impossible to find these days.

    I was arrested for flying a drone *updated with video*

    Don’t let yourself feel too confident about this. Yes since San Bernardino, if an iPhone hasn’t been connected to a USB port in a couple days it will refuse connection without a pin. However... there are now two or three companies out there that offer little portable computers to Law Enforcement...

    Add Arkansas to the no fly list (All State Parks)

    Thanks Paul... yeah, actually a friend of mine was suggesting The Pig Trail Scenic Byway as well; appreciate your more specific location on that road not too far from the freeway!

    Add Arkansas to the no fly list (All State Parks)

    Thanks Paul--just seems ridiculous that there is no documentation on the ban; and that the only way you find out is verbally from an annoyed ranger or if you call HQ. I have $1 million liability insurance; but wife and I are just driving through; and it's not worth trying to pin down the exact...

    Add Arkansas to the no fly list (All State Parks)

    It's mid June, and I can't find any information on drones being banned in Arkansas State Parks--even the overzealous AirMap site doesn't show a restriction (at least at the park I'm considering visiting). Anyone seen any official documentation on this yet?

    State Farm canceled me today

    My State Farm agent warned me that if I filed a claim within the first three months of getting coverage that my policy would be cancelled and not renewed. They’d cover the claim though regardless. I’m curious if the OP made a claim within the first 3 months of his policy?

    EPSON Moverio BT-300 Review

    Thanks for the link. I didn't notice any performance difference with 4.1.15. Also it didn't seem to make any difference if I had the video feed set at 4Mbps or higher, or which band (2.4 vs 5.8). I did notice that at least with 4.1.15, you get BOTH a map and bearing/attitude indicator...

    EPSON Moverio BT-300 Review

    I can't find a "smooth" option on the menu--is this a Mavic option? I think I understand what you were suggesting though, and turned my video bitrate to the lowest setting of 4Mbps on the 5.8Ghz band. I didn't think to try 2.4Ghz to see if that would make a difference; though I'd much prefer...

    EPSON Moverio BT-300 Review

    Just tried out my glasses for the first time tonight--indoors. So far, I'm very disappointed, but thought I'd post my experience to see if perhaps I'm missing something critical that I'm not doing right. I did search this thread to see if I could find some answers--learned a lot, but nothing...

    FAA Regulations on FPV?

    107.31 Visual line of sight aircraft operation. (a) With vision that is unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, the remote pilot in command, the visual observer (if one is used), and the person manipulating the flight control of the small unmanned aircraft system must be able to see...

    Goggles bugs noticed so far

    I've noticed the same thing myself. (Plus my goggles fog up after a few minutes of wearing them). I'm disappointed that you can't select 3:2 ratio still images either (for the P4P), and that your actual onboard video recording settings change from 4K to 1080P when your goggle display settings...

    Goggles bugs noticed so far

    This is a little off topic, but along the lines of the Home point and bearing... is there an indicator that gives you bearing relative to which way your facing your goggles, that I may be missing? It would be nice if there was a "radar" like the Go 4 app has, that shows bearing relative to...

    How visible are the props when tilting up?

    I'm definitely interested in getting the Mavic at some point--mostly for its portability. However, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how it compares to the P3/P4 when it comes to looking up (with the camera tilt) and seeing blades in the frame? I'm planning to film a hospital complex that...
